is there some guide or such?
i did 7loops and understood i can't progress any further
only stats i managed to open are: athletics, drive, frugality and instinct
tried to make full dreamer run, tried to level up charisma to 1, but it was just a waste of time...
so is there any guidance or hints what i need to achieve to open something new?
Anyone can give me general general guide on what activities and MoL I should do to make progress easier?
I don't remember much of early game, some of this may not be accurate
Ignore Charisma stat while just starting. Costs too much to be worth it. Ignore Master Your Popularity goal. It buffs how much relation levels buff stat gain, based off your charisma level. But it's very low and only useful if you have high charisma levels. Ignore it until you do
Spend MOL on the upgrades for stamina and focus. Prioritize stamina because you need lots more stamina so you don't have to rest 3 times a day. Yumeno questline gives a food upgrade, DuMont questline also gives a food upgrade
Follow Hashimoto's questline for Larceny Kit, gives you free finance xp every day and boosts goal progress
DuMont's questline gives an upgrade to eye catching attire. Ostentatious clothes raises relations with everyone in same city as you, pretty good for relation levels
Hashimoto's questline also leads to self destructive stance (basically doubles to triples rewards from goals that cost 40+ stamina), and the tower stuff
Yumeno's questline leads to game development, which gives 10 MOL per goal completion
Investigating Tanaka's kidnapping goal has two paths. Complete it early to unlock study language actions and spam those with larceny kit and generous stance. Which takes like 20-30 days depending on how low your focus is. Or just ignore it until day 98. DuMont's questline eventually leads to a goal with... I don't remember cause I auto it. Think it was 30k or 50k progress needed. Which unlocks a rich people club, with a 15k goal for fancy rich food. Which unlocks a 20k(?) goal to learn of a job. Which unlocks a different study language option. What makes this option special is with eye catching attire or ostentatious clothes, it costs over 40 stamina, which means you can self destructive it. Makes it super easy. Then just complete the investigation on day 98, and get on the plane on day 99.
I'm honestly not sure which of the two paths is better for the early game, so it's up to your judgement.
Tower stuff, for that feat that unlocks an upgrade for academics
Jackal questline unlocks relations for a new character and a 120 stamina action that raises that character's relation. Hashimoto's unlocks 60 stamina actions that gives academics and progress a goal. The stamina costs assume you have eye catching attire or ostentatious clothes equipped. At the end of that goal you'll get the feat. Takes like 200k progress or something.
Even if you can't get the tower feat, tower is still good because academics buffs all stat gain, which includes academics. So academics lvl up, charisma lvl up, the relation action and ostentatious clothes lead to relation lvl up, then repeat. It's a loop that leads to all your stats spiking until level up costs get too high. Should help you get your finance lvl high enough to get that finance feat, you can also spam focus training afterwards with the benefit of high academics. Then spam your goals.
I'm honestly not sure how much of this is helpful, since it's been... 4-5 months since I started playing? Hopefully some of it helps. A lot of this list is me remembering some things, then remembering more related things as I type, so it's a bit random.
